Who: Jayden and YOU!!
Broadcast: Yes - part 1
Action: Yes - part 1 (Marsiva) and part 2 (Pathstone)
When: part 1 is earlier in the day, part 2 is after the latest shuffle!

[ 1 - The Marsiva | Video ]
[ Jayden is NOT HAPPY when she wakes up. At all. And after long enough of frantically searching every inch of the room she's in, and seeing no sign of any of her things, she's all the more pissed off! So she very, very quickly figures out her communication device, switches it on, and glares daggers into the feed. Hoo boy howdy, is she pissed... ]

Where. Is. My. Ghost?

[ First things first. More questions later.

Later, anyone else also on the Marsiva might bump into her in the main room, though she'll be quite pissy about the whole situation. ... She might also be stuffing her face with some of that buffet food. Don't judge. ]


[ 2 - The Pathstone | Action ]
[ Poof!! Jayden appears on the Pathstone, there's a flurry of confetti, and... ... is that pudding? She'll take some of that thank you very much~

She's wandering the ship, trying to figure out 1) where she's supposed to be right now, 2) who else is around, and 3) if she's going to get any more answers about... well, anything at all. So, would anyone care to help show her around? Don't mind the stern look on her face too much. It... it just does that. ]

[ That... might have been a tiny huff of a laugh at her choice of words~ ]

Well, I might not be a pro, but I know what I'm doing. And I know I'm better than autopilot.

[robitussin]

Just because of the new stuff they crammed in your augment, or did you know how to pilot ships before getting here?

[stormfist]

I flew some ships back home. Mostly shuttles. Cruisers. Haven't flown anything this big before, but I'll adjust.

What's your augment?

[ And does it make any more sense than hers does? :| ]

[robitussin]

Nice. Did you get in cool space battles? Is that how you guarded the city or whatever?

Oh, I'm lab support. [A shrug.] It's like - first aid stuff, kinda. There's a medical area on the ship if you ever need it.

[stormfist]

Space battles? Heh. Yeah, some. Well, rarely.

[ She actually cracks a small smile at that - she still calls half the shit back home "space stuff," having been brought centuries into the future, and all... ]

Most of my fighting's done planetside. Mars, Venus, what's left of Earth... I'm usually tasked with taking the fight to our enemies.

[robitussin]

Wait, hold up one second. Mars is a habitable planet where you're from?

[stormfist]

[ She shakes her head. ]

Was. We had settlements on the moon, Mars, and Venus before the Collapse. Then everything went to shit. Mars was invaded by the Cabal during all that, like four centuries ago.

[robitussin]

Let me guess, I don't want to know what the Collapse was and you don't want to talk about it?

I do want to know who the Cabal are, though.

[stormfist]

It's fine. The Collapse is when the Darkness showed up in the Solar System to wreck everything. I'd tell you details if I could... I don't remember much. That's when I died. [ Beat. ] I got better. [ Har har. ]

The Cabal are an alien race. Don't know where from, they showed up during the Collapse since nobody could stop them - too busy with the Darkness. They're huge - look like big-ass rhinos in space suits.

[robitussin]

Oh, yikes. That's never fun. Sorry.

[the whole dying and getting better thing.]

Rhinos in space suits. Charming. Do they fly spaceships too?

[stormfist]

[ She shakes her head, indicating hey - no worries. She's got purpose, so she's fine. most of the time ]

Yep. And they're just as bulky. Probably compensating. [ Smirk~ ]

[robitussin]

Ugh. I really do not want to think about what weird rhino aliens have to compensate for, thanks.

[stormfist]

Good point. Fair enough.

[ There's a tiny smile. Finally. ]

I'm Jayden.

[robitussin]

Cool. Welcome to the Pathstone.

I'm Opal. Also, uh, the captain.

[stormfist]

Thanks-- Captain? Oh. [ That's surprising! But she's not asking questions. She does straighten her posture, though. ]

Not familiar with protocol around here yet. But I'll do my best, Captain Opal.

[ Respect where respect is due, after all. ]

[robitussin]

Oh, no, please don't do that. I mean, it seriously isn't a big deal, it comes with like zero actual responsibilities most of the time.

[stormfist]

[ Blink! ]

Oh. If you're sure.

[ Welp. One less thing to worry about?? Strange, but hell, she'll roll with it. ]

So then... people here - the crew, I mean. All of the ranks. Any of it actually a big deal? Or are we all just stuck here trying to get through this?

[robitussin]

I mean, sometimes it gets a use. People have gotten sick and hurt before, so the medical bays are pretty useful sometimes. I know there are people with augments to help them cook, that comes in handy.

[A shrug.]

But for the most part, the ship takes care of itself.

[stormfist]

Probably good that it does. From the sound of it, I guess other people are from places that don't do the whole space thing at all.

[robitussin]

Yeah. I've been to some really weird places, but this is the first time I've literally been floating in outer space. Kind of trippy.
